About our remedial sealant in Adisham
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
In a village or hamlet like Adisham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What remedial sealant looks like in Adisham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Adisham Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Adisham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.

Do you need remedial sealant in Adisham?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Innocents, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Adisham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never seal over old silicone
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
